Walking Down New Zealand

This week we have counted up the steps on our pedometer and we have walked 250kms. We are feeling pretty good about this especially since its been so wet!! We can't get outside to run around like we usually do.

Walking with the Athletes

Room 2 is part of the McDonalds greatest feat promotion. We all got our pedometers on Monday and we have been trying to get as many steps as we can. Unfortunately the weather has been rainy so we have been stuck inside. However we have already walked   33.6  kilometres which is pretty good  for 9 five year olds and their teacher. We will try and get heaps and heaps of steps over the next 2 and a half weeks and hopefully we will make our way down New Zealand from the top of the North Island. It won't be easy but we'll give it our best!

Peter and the Wolf

We have  started term 3 by listening to parts of the musical story of Peter and the Wolf. We have found out that different instruments play for different characters in the story. The strings play for Peter and the flute plays for the bird. We are going to think of different ways to move when each instrument plays. We have lots of great ideas in Room 2.
